Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In contrast to humans, where soft-tissue sarcomas are rare tumours, soft-tissue sarcomas are relatively common tumours in dogs, where they represent 10–20% of all neoplasms. The diagnosis, classification, and management of canine soft-tissue sarcomas has evolved over many years, and the present Special Issue seeks to encapsulate some of these changes and presents the current, state-of-the-art understanding of these tumours in a series of review articles and case studies. Furthermore, the review explores comparative aspects of both human and canine soft-tissue sarcomas, arguing the case for canine tumours being an excellent model for exploring innovative and novel approaches to the treatment of the disease in all species.
